Long before the hills of Bethlehem echoed with the sound of angels singing, long before shepherds left their flocks to find a baby in a manger, the prophet

04:05

Isaiah had foretold the miracle that would happen. He said, Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call his name

04:15

Immanuel. Every song we sing about his birth celebrates the name that means

04:22

God with us. After a silence that lasted 400 years, it was a baby's cry from a manger that announced that heaven had sent help to all who would receive it.

07:57

The long -promised Holy One of God had come to be our hope and our Messiah.

11:31

The angel told the shepherds, A Savior has been born for you in David's city.

11:37

You'll find him wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger. The world desperately needed saving then, and it still does.

11:46

So the word Savior has moved hearts down through the centuries. In the early 1800s, a priest made it the refrain of a tender carol when he wrote,

11:55

Christ, the Savior is born, Christ, the Savior is born. Jesus said,

16:22

I am the way, the truth, and the life. He's the door, the gate, and the living water.

16:32

The light of Judah, the Lamb of God, and the light of the world. Our great high priest and the good shepherd.

16:39

He's the Word made flesh, and ultimately, King of kings and Lord of lords.

20:29

The message of the angel to the shepherds hasn't changed. A Savior has been born for us.

20:37

We only need to fall in worship before him, trusting and receiving Jesus as Lord and King.

25:11

Is there a sweeter name to the believer's ear than the name of Jesus? It's comfort and healing, glory and majesty.

25:21

We sing it in praise, and we whisper it in reverence. It's the name we lift up today, and the one we'll worship forever.

29:41

Every Christmas is an opportunity to remember what happened that night long ago.

29:47

But when the season ends, when the day has passed, when the decorations are stored away for another year, what we have because of Jesus, our

29:56

Messiah, burns as bright as ever. We can have peace with God because the newborn

30:02

King became the Lamb of Atonement. We can have eternity with him because the baby in the manger became the resurrection and the life.

30:11

His coming is a message of heaven's glory for everyone. When they were looking, searching diligently for a

35:03

Messiah, when he was right there in front of their eyes. From all of us, thank you so much for being here today to share your support for this wonderful crowd.
